RemarksSince ancient times, Shengjiang, in Chinese traditional formulae, has been representing fresh ginger, and Ganjiang means dried ginger. That is, dried Shengjiang (or Ganshengjiang) in Chinese drug market indicates Ganjiang in Chinese traditional formulae (Kampo formulae). However, Ganjiang in the recent market means dried, after steamed, Shengjiang. It can be called processed one. In China, in contrast, fresh ginger is Shengjiang and dried is Ganjiang. In addition, there is Paojiang which is a processed drug. Paojiang is made as follows.: First of all, the clean sand (Gefen, Huashifen) should be put into a pan and heated at strong fire. The dried unpeeled Shengjiang is added and mixed until the surface swells and the color turns to brown. Then it is picked out and cooled in air. Shengjiang has greater effects in strengthening the function of the stomach and relieving vomiting than that of Ganjiang. In case Ganshengjiang is applied as a substitute for Shengjiang, the dose should be one third to one fifth of the traditionally indicated amount.
